Latinx Perspectives on the New Testament

Osvaldo D. Vena; Leticia A. Guardiola-Sáenz

doi:10.5771/9781978705111

Summary

Going against the false perception that all Latinx views on the Bible are homogeneous, the contributors in this book use different hermeneutic perspectives to interpret the New Testament. Each chapter examines one of the twenty-seven documents thematically instead of following the traditional verse-by-verse commentary format.
